Episode Segment Highlights

• Hilarious story about Athena hooking up in drag with a “plastic bag in her wig”:
  • “You could hear the topper, like, crinkling as she was going up and down…” – [Corey, 16:31]
  • “Is dick that serious?” – [Drew, 17:23]

[24:14] Main Challenge: Role Selection Drama

[Monet X Change]

We are so excited to share that we are partnering with Airbnb and if you know anything about our lives, you know that we are constantly on the move.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I remember this one trip to Atlanta. Girl, we booked Airbnb and it changed the day. ATL yes, it was incredible. The home was nicely furnished and it was perfect because we had all this extra space for all the things that a drag queen be needed.

[Monet X Change]

I love chatting with the host, getting that authentic local perspective on where to go. And it just feels like a lived in experience rather than a revolving door. Booking stays with Airbnb has changed the way that we travel.

[Corey Adams]

Out of the two of us, who is who? I'm definitely Monet. You're Bob. You think? I feel like. Well, yeah, can. I feel like Monet is more like positive.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, and Bob's like. And Bob's. The Debbie Downer is always reading bitches.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. Yeah. So I feel like I'm on Naked Bob.

[Corey Adams]

Okay. Yeah, I'll take it.

[Drew Adkins]

Well, okay, listen. Okay, so this is.

[Corey Adams]

But you're. But you're built like Monet ate Bob. So now what?

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, y', all, first of all, I'm about. I have to drag this bitch today. I really have to drag this bitch.

[Corey Adams]

Sister, please.

[Drew Adkins]

Because we're not doing this today. We started this. We were supposed to do this two hours ago. Two and a half hours ago, actually. And she texts us, oh, can we start at noon? It's noon, bitch. She's like, oh, another 10 more minutes. The bitch ain't in drag. Let's see the eyes. Let's see the mug. Let's see the eyes. I reveal the bitch look a mess. The eyebrows looking crazy.

[Corey Adams]

Babe, you're saying I'm not in drag as if you are. I mean, you had to.

[Drew Adkins]

If a bitch needs.

[Corey Adams]

We. We can't tell. We can't tell if you're in drag or not, regardless, because you look the same both ways. But.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, what we're gonna. All I'm saying is, if I needed two extra hours, I would hoax something's happening.

[Corey Adams]

I just. I. I got back from a flight last night very late. I don't do mornings. I don't even do late afternoon. Okay, you're. You're lucky I'm up for this.

[Drew Adkins]

The AA meeting?

[Corey Adams]

No, babe, I was with. I was with your. Your bestie Mistress Isabel, and your other bestie, Briar. Briar Bluff.

[Drew Adkins]

How was that?

[Corey Adams]

It was. It was really cute. It was really fun. Briar was really upset that more people came to see me than her naturally, so I was kind of trying to downplay it because, like, I really was too tired for. For all that. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

The meet and greet game. I'm so sorry, you guys, but plain. You're my favorite you. And then Briar's in there. Just. I mean.

[Corey Adams]

Okay. I will say, though, there was one person in the meet and greet who gave her a present and not me, which I'm sure she was like, you were mad. No, I wasn't mad. I could give a fuck. But I could tell that Briar was like. Yes. Like, it was like, you know her. She did her big one. You know what I mean? She felt like she really. She really got it.

[Drew Adkins]

I need to ask. Cause I know you're, like, overdancing. What number did you do? Because there's a video of you last time you were at mish gig and you did a. You did a Katy pair of mix after talking shit about my Katy Perry mix in that fucking trash ass clown outfit. So what did you do this year? Did you serve a clown or did you give a clown with a teenager?

[Corey Adams]

No, no, I served cunt. I did my Britney mix. My Carrie Nation Britney mix. You remember her? Um, I did my Britney mix, but I did it with my Zika breasts, so you know it.

[Drew Adkins]

See, not my clown, not my circus, y'. All. Back in the day, plane really used to give cunt. Like, she really used to Give us.

[Corey Adams]

But you have to understand, my love, this is why we do what we do. This is why we got on Drag Race, so that we could get our big break and we didn't have to clog in anymore. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Drew Adkins]

Plain used to come in, cinch human wig, body wave. Nails on. Now, if you saw a nail on this bitch, you'd be gagged, girl. You'd be gagged.

[Corey Adams]

At the end of the day, it's still kind. It's still pussy. I still bring in the numbers, babe. And they, you know, I like to keep them on their toes. You know, one day I give them circus clown. The other day I give them woman. You know, with you, they never have to guess. It's never a guessing game. With you, they always know that they're gonna get, you know, the Grinch. The Grinch doing. Raise your glass. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Like, okay, but the. But your problem is you have more flops than wins lately. So now people think the clown is real. They think that's what it is.

[Corey Adams]

That is what it is. Drag is just like. In my opinion, drag has. I've, like, transcended the realm of drag. You know what I mean? Like, all these other girls can serve.

[Drew Adkins]

So what are you, baby?

[Corey Adams]

I'm a trailblazer. I'm a pioneer.

[Drew Adkins]

Of what?

[Corey Adams]

I'm an entertainer.

[Drew Adkins]

You're a trail mix eater.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, that too. That, too. But you know what? I paved my own lane. And it is because I've been getting bigger, honey. It is because I've been getting bigger. And trees, big backs, everything just crumbles in my wake, mama. I'm just stomping, honey, and everything's falling away.

[Drew Adkins]

The big back queen period. Speaking of big backs. So moving on to episode, Mia Starr was sent home. That segue was cut. I don't go Fuck. Mia Starr was sent home. And the girls. Girls are sad now. Were you sad when, like, girls on your season went home? Was there anyone that, like, hurt you? You were like, ooh, this one hurt Amanda.

[Corey Adams]

Sorry.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, Amanda. When Amanda went home, was that the one that was real for you?

[Corey Adams]

That's when it got real.

[Drew Adkins]

Real, honestly, for me. When Crystal got sent home by season, I was like, oh, they really. They ain't playing. They ain't fucking with us. Like, they sending bitches home. I was that kind of guy.

[Corey Adams]

Well, yeah, because you guys saw Crystal as a front runner. You guys couldn't see the bigger picture, that she was boring tv, but not

[Drew Adkins]

so much on the end, not enough, because she had all. Because she had all the pieces. It was just the statue.

[Corey Adams]

She certainly had. She did have all the pieces. She had that boxy body. She had.

[Drew Adkins]

You know, we are 12 minutes in. We have.

[Corey Adams]

She had that. She had that breaky. That breaky chin. Absolutely. She had it all, girl.

[Monet X Change]

And.

[Corey Adams]

And they sent her home. How could they

[Drew Adkins]

you to talk about yourself? Anyway, so Mikey. Mikey asks Juicy the question, who are you? And Honestly, I agree. RuPaul was like, do you not remember? You didn't watch the episode? So RuPaul, RuPaul asked juicy, like, who are you? And honestly, I get that because after she dances, it kind of just gives. What now? You know what I mean? But you know, Juicy, that's your sister. So, like, do you think there's sides of her that she's hiding?

[Corey Adams]

That's my niece. That's my niece. Well, yeah, girl. We. We learned this episode that the side of her that she was hiding was that she. She had a teeth. She was struggling with a drug addiction. Which is. Which is.

[Drew Adkins]

Why are you.

[Corey Adams]

Cory, why are you laughing? Corey? Why are you laughing? That was a. Juicy was struggling.

[Drew Adkins]

It was.

[Corey Adams]

Juicy. Sit there with a straight face right now when I say this, okay? Don't you dare fucking laugh. Juicy was deep in the dredges, struggling with a rampant Corey drug addiction.

[Drew Adkins]

It's not funny. Stop saying it. You know what it was? I don't know if it was the editing or it was the way it was brought up. It just felt like very abrupt. I feel like I had no time to process it. I felt like we didn't get enough information. I was like, I. I was so happy I was not in the room for that because I don't think I would have been able to get through. You know what I mean? I was like, now you would have

[Corey Adams]

been laughing at her, girl.

[Drew Adkins]

Not laughing. But I'm like, Mikey was trying to lift the moment, like, ha, ha. And then Drewy came out of nowhere and she said, well, actually, I don't know myself. I had a drug addiction. I was like, oh, my God. I was like, well, time to get out of drag, I guess.

[Corey Adams]

But, you know, on a real note, I feel like, you know, it's hard processing these sort of on live television. And, you know, I'm glad that Juicy was able to open up. And you know what I would have told her if she said that to me, If Juicy said that to me and if I was in the room, I would have probably consoled her by saying, kudos, mama, for saying that.

[Drew Adkins]

But would You. I don't know what I would. I don't know what I would have. Would have done. I don't even. I would have been, like, a pat on the back.

[Corey Adams]

I feel like you're literally the worst person to, like, tell something, like, traumatic to, like, don't do it.

[Drew Adkins]

Don't give me a sob story. Don't give me sadness. Don't give me none of that. Cause I don't know how to process it. I really can't. Like, I'd be like, anyway, so, like, let's get out of drag, y'. All. Like, I can't. Don't hit me with the sob story. I can't. But no. So that was a problem. And then. So Discord is jealous that she's not wanting any challenges. Do you feel as though she is wrong?

[Corey Adams]

Well, I do. And let's wake that up, because I thought that she should have been in the top last week. And of course, we'll get to it this episode.

[Drew Adkins]

No shade. She was kind of fab on the.

[Corey Adams]

For me personally, I. From. Based off of what I saw what. What had been edited and presented to us, I thought Mikey and Discord were the best in the Snatch Game. For me, personally, I thought Jane was still chilling. Jane. Jane was cute. For. For me personally, it was kind of like. It was a little. I. I could tell she was doing well. I was just kind of bored. There was nothing, like, interesting to me about her characterization.

[Drew Adkins]

Wait, it was Jane. Mikey, who else is in the top? Girl.

[Corey Adams]

Nene. Nene won.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, my God. God. You're Nini Won, girl. So. Yes. Anyway. Anyway. Anyway. So Jane's scared that she's falling behind, which is crazy because she's been in the top every single time.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, Jane's been killing it. She's been killing it.

[Drew Adkins]

If I was Jade, bitch. Y' all bitches couldn't tell me nothing. I'd be walking happy, bitch. I don't need to win the charm if I'm behind every week, bitch. Sickening. I'd be good. I. I've never been high on a single episode of that.

[Corey Adams]

You know your friend Gigi Glam? My niece Gigi Glam.

[Monet X Change]

That one.

[Drew Adkins]

Do you think she looks like Jane Doe?

[Corey Adams]

I feel like they've. They were separated at birth, girl. Like, I think you think it gives her.

[Drew Adkins]

For sure.

[Corey Adams]

For sure.

[Drew Adkins]

I. I can see.

[Corey Adams]

But. But Gigi's, like, a little bit more, like. I enjoy Gigi a little more. Of course.

[Drew Adkins]

No, I. I just love Jane's reference. Jade's my pick to win James, my winner. I feel. I love the references. I love the fact she's really good. I think she's smart. I think she knows the game.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, she's really good. She is. She is. In my opinion, Jane don't is, like, solidifying the casting decision to have her cast on the show. You know what I mean? She's, like. She's. She's proving why she belongs on Drag Race, where I feel like I can't say the same for a lot of the girls competing on the season.

[Drew Adkins]

Name them.

[Monet X Change]

Name them.

[Corey Adams]

Well, okay, where do we start? Where? Where?

[Drew Adkins]

Say there. Name. This is a podcast where we say, say there.

[Corey Adams]

Are the girls already there? I mean, I. Let's just move on, girl. Let's just move on. I already. I already. You already know how I feel, girl. I said that. I. That none of these girls are stars. They all got mad at me. I did this interview. I was like, they're not.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, yeah.

[Corey Adams]

None of them are giving. Which. How do you feel about that? Would you corroborate that? What do you think?

[Drew Adkins]

I think that they're all spectacular drag queens. Okay. No, honestly, I just. I think that they're all amazing. They're all talented. I feel as though none of them have, like, a business social media outlet. Okay. Like, the. The art. They. They are amazing at the art of drag, but not amazing at promoting the art of drag. Does that make sense? You know what I mean? Like, that. I feel like that's the problem, but all the talent is they're better than me, bitch. I can't do that shit.

[Corey Adams]

That's kind of. That's kind of been an issue in, like, recent seasons. I feel like girls, like, put a lot of emphasis on, you know, the looks and, you know, preparing for the show, but they're completely unprepared for what comes after the show.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, it comes back to the pizza shop. I mean, yeah, it comes back to the. I came to the restaurant to eat pizza, so I'm like, just give us the pizza. You doing. Y' all doing too much. Even, like, small little nitpicky things like them posting the photo shoot the night of the episode. Stop doing that. The episode photo shoot.

[Corey Adams]

Phot, mind you. Photo shoot. And no real, like, no reels, nothing. I literally. I. I DM'd Mikey. And after she posted that Drew picture, Drew Barrymore, and I was like, you need, like, a few reels as Drew, like, on the couch, bare feet. Like, you need reels, girl. And she was like, oh, where are you? I'm gonna be True. I'm gonna be Drew on Monday. I'll, like, film them Monday. I was like, girl, you. But you should have. No, that's what I'm saying. You should have been done. Had. Did that girl.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, so. So it's a new day in the workroom, and apparently, speaking of room, Nene can't read the room, and she's reading girls left and right. Do you think that Nene is a little bit, like, socially unaware? Cause I feel like I.

[Corey Adams]

The thing is, is that Nene could be speaking, and I'm not listening because I. She's not saying anything interesting. Is that crazy to say?

[Drew Adkins]

Well, she told. Oh, no, I agree. No, she's. She told Juicy, like, oh, at least. At least Vita knows herself. You dumbass whack ass, big ass bitch. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Nene, I must. Noah was. No, you didn't see that.

[Corey Adams]

I must have missed that part. But she.

[Drew Adkins]

Girl, the opening. She literally just came at Juicy out of nowhere. Everybody's like, she did, girl, like, yeah, and we'll get. Well, we'll get there. Cause she does it again. So they do this weird grinder thing. I promise.

[Corey Adams]

I watched the episode, by the way. I promise. I watched the episode. I paid attention.

[Drew Adkins]

She went on Twitter, lit that clip.

[Corey Adams]

It was very hard. It was very difficult. My ADHD was in full effect. I was like, girl, I saw a squirrel in the corner. It was crazy.

[Drew Adkins]

Anyways, anyway, so they do this grinding game. I don't have any notes for it. It was boring. I was like, athena's a whore.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, yeah. Wait, wait. Do you want to go through the qu. Really quickly? Hold on. So the first one was. The first one was, which queen is most likely to lie and say that she's verse. And most people said, athena Dion, that's your mother.

[Drew Adkins]

What is she? Is she verse? Well, that's it.

[Corey Adams]

I don't know. I feel like there was a point in time when Athena did try to hit on me, and I. Oh, exclusive civil rivalry.

[Drew Adkins]

Exclusive. Did you guys ever, ever do the doo?

[Corey Adams]

Of course not, girl. Of course not. No, no, babe. No. I could.

[Drew Adkins]

Your tips never touched.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, Wendy. I would never be caught. I would never be caught with another drag queen. I wouldn't be caught dead in another drag queen lying with another cross dresser. I would never lay with. Yeah.

[Drew Adkins]

They said, which queen is most likely to hook up in drag at the end? Yawn. I can see that. She gives me that. She gives me that. Like, that drag queen at the brunch, like, after the show. She's just looking at it.

[Corey Adams]

So I remember distinctly this story that I think Morphine told it to me. And Athena confirmed that Athena was either getting plowed or sucking dick in drag. But, you know, Athena loves those updos. So the helmets. And she had, like, a plastic bag, like a plastic stop and shop grocery bag, like, crumpled up in her wig. And the guy was like. She essentially had a. She essentially had a. You could. You could hear the topper, like, crinkling as she was, like, going up and down on his dick.

[Drew Adkins]

And.

[Corey Adams]

And he was like. He said, wait a second. Stop. Will you hear that noise? What. What is that? And she was like, oh, that's nothing, baby. That's nothing, baby. And she. And she took her topper off with the plastic bag in it. With the plastic bag still in it. So, girl, she was fiddling it, trying to rearrange it, but then she just got rid of it, girl, and she just kept going.

[Drew Adkins]

My thing is just like, is dick that serious? Like, is it that serious?

[Corey Adams]

Like, is it that serious to some people? Honestly, I don't. I just don't understand. Like, if I was to hook up in drag, you wouldn't catch. I would not be stuffed full of. Full of grocery bags. That's for sure. Like that. How is that sexy to anybody?

[Monet X Change]

We are so excited to share that we are partnering with Airbnb. And if you know anything about our lives, you know that we are constantly on the move, whether it's drag gigs, comedy tours, filming vacations, and after years of living out of a suitcase, baby, we realize that a stay can totally make or break your energy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When on tour, you don't want a room that has two beds and one cramped room. No, you want two beds, your own private bathroom, and you need a kitchen

[Drew Adkins]

table to eat and a living room

[Bob the Drag Queen]

where you can actually settle in and feel like a human being. I remember this one trip to Atlanta. Girl, we booked Airbnb and it changed the tape atl. Yes, it was incredible. The home was nicely furnished.

[Corey Adams]

It was stylized.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We had high ceilings, a massive living area.

[Drew Adkins]

And it was perfect because we had

[Bob the Drag Queen]

all this extra space for all the things that a drag queen be needed. Okay, we had four or five suitcases. We had to practice our numbers. And honestly, we could sing. While I could sing. Well, Bob Mouth too. We could both sing as loud as we wanted without worrying about bothering the neighbors with, you know, these thin walls in hotels and things.

[Monet X Change]

And as drag queens, we travel a lot, so it is much easier and nicer to have a larger space to unpack spread out and vibe before you head to the gig. Plus, it's a lot more personal. I love chatting with the host, getting that authentic local perspective on where to go and it just feels like a lived in experience rather than a revolving door. I'm serious. Booking stays with Airbnb has changed the way that we travel. It makes the road feel a lot less lonely. So glam up your next trip by using Airbnb to find an amazing place to stay.

look,

[Monet X Change]

we all know that taking care of your mental health shouldn't be any harder than taking care of your physical health. If you pull a muscle or if you get like a persistent cough, you go see a provider. For some reason, when it comes to finding a therapist, it becomes this massive frustrating mission. You're dealing with long wait lists or you're staring down those huge out of pocket costs that make you think, I'll just deal with this myself and y', all, I've been there. Whether it's the pressure of work or just trying to keep your head clear when life gets loud, having a tool like therapy is a game changer. It's not a weakness. It's literally just a tool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Rula is a healthcare company that makes therapy simple, affordable and fast. They work with most major insurance plans and the average session copay is just 15 bucks.

They have over 15,000 licensed vetted providers nationwide, and they match you based on your specific needs and. And your insurance. You aren't just scrolling through a directory.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay. Anyway, somebody's question on boy. Which queen's most likely lie about her age? Athena, obviously.

[Corey Adams]

Right.

[Drew Adkins]

I was like, which queen has the lowest body count?

[Corey Adams]

Darlene. First of all. First of all, let's bring it back, because not only did Athena. Does Athena lie about her age regularly, but she lies about being Juicy's mother when she's, in fact, her grandmother. Let's not forget that.

[Drew Adkins]

Wait, actually wake that up. So she literally, like, she literally doing it.

[Corey Adams]

Like, she doesn't need. She doesn't need Grindr to do it. She just does it on a regular basis. Anyway, anyway. So Darlene, lowest body.

[Drew Adkins]

Lowest body count. Darlene, I believe.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, sure.

[Drew Adkins]

Which queen is most likely to have mask for mask on the profile of Nini Coco? What

[Corey Adams]

is Nini Mask? What would you. Would you consider Nene Mask?

[Drew Adkins]

No.

[Corey Adams]

Who is, like, the most butch? Like, one. That's. Who's still left of the season prior, for sure. But out of the people left, I was Vita. Oh, Vita for sure. Yeah.

[Drew Adkins]

Vita the most. Like, butchers want Vita.

[Corey Adams]

Okay. I could see that. I could see that.

[Drew Adkins]

Nene.

[Corey Adams]

No.

[Drew Adkins]

She gives circuit party. No. Which queen's most likely likely on Grindr at a funeral? Kenya. I could see that. Well, apparently, from the looks from.

[Corey Adams]

From.

[Drew Adkins]

From your stories. Where is Athena? Cause she'll suck a dick at a funeral with a fucking plastic bath on her head.

[Corey Adams]

Athena will do that anywhere for sure. So between Athena and Kenya, and then which queen is most likely to disappear? Oh, to go home.

[Drew Adkins]

To go home.

[Corey Adams]

Kenya.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, I can See that? Cause she has one challenge, and they're all, like, flopping and. Because she kind of has been doing my best. What?

[Corey Adams]

No, no.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, she has been flopping. But honestly, I like. I'm like, honestly, same. Cause, girl, there was a point in time where I was like, at this point, I'm just buying weeks. At this point. Like, I was like. At this point, I was like, let me just get into the episode. If I can make this episode, I'm good. You know what I mean? Like, so honestly, I.

[Corey Adams]

It's. It's okay, girl. We could all tell you we're just there to have some fun and to gain some TikTok followers. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Girl. Right, right. And honestly, Kenya, Girl. Girl, have fun. At this point, you already. Episode nine, girl, I would.

[Corey Adams]

I would love for them to just, like, throw a curveball, though, and, like, give Kenya a win. Like, give her a. Not. Not. I Not put her in the top. Not put her in the top. Give her a full blown win. Like, completely. Just 180the competition.

[Drew Adkins]

I would live. Anyway, so they were recording. Do you have any notes? Because I have a couple, but I'm

[Corey Adams]

just like, oh, well, they were. They were choosing roles. And I feel like you had.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Corey Adams]

You had something to say about that, right? Because Nene was pissing everybody off, y'.

[Drew Adkins]

All. If I was Athena, Nene would've been crying on that couch, period. Like, Nene would've been crying. Cause. So, okay, so y', all. Y' all obviously watch the episode, but we're gonna recap it. So apparently they're fighting for these roles, and Mikey and Nene want the same role. Mikey's like, oh, I'm a Broadway star. Da, da, da.

[Corey Adams]

This.

[Drew Adkins]

I could do this. I'm ready to do this. Nene's like, ah, but, like, I want a big part. I was like, okay, sure. Mikey gagged her. She said, well, let's audition, girl. Mikey chewed up. Nene looking a fool. So the gag is everybody votes. We all agree. Mikey got it. All right, cool. Why Nene gonna go? So I'm supposed to take that? Yeah, like, you lost. I was like, am I crazy? Am I crazy?

[Corey Adams]

No. I don't blame Nene for, like, fighting for the role that she wants. But then after she got the role, after Mikey was like, okay, you can have it, girl. She.

[Drew Adkins]

No, but even before that, before that, she was like, well, I don't want to be this one. So, Athena, I should have your part. Excuse me. If I was Athena, I would have laid her ass on that grass, bitch. I would have gagged her. I would have been like, listen here, you snot nose little bitch. I picked this part. I was already happy with my part. You weren't looking to my part until you auditioned for the part you wanted and you flopped. And you didn't even get it. Now you want my part.

[Corey Adams]

I feel like Athena did let Nini have it. Athena did. Did let her have it.

[Drew Adkins]

She should.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She should.

[Drew Adkins]

She should have made her cry. She was. She. She let her off.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah.

[Drew Adkins]

I was like, so you're.

[Corey Adams]

What's missing for. For you this season is bitches really, really taking it there. Like, you want bitches. You want them to fight?

[Drew Adkins]

Take honestly, yes. Because, bitch, you just begged for someone else's part, didn't get it, and now you want to take my part for me? Oh, no, no. You need to know your parts.

[Corey Adams]

I will say the. The Rachel Berry auditions of it all is, like, crazy to me. Like, it's. I. I don't know. It's like, why are we auditioning for parts? Like, no, no. Like, you guys aren't. You guys aren't the judges. I'm not gonna audition for a part, you know, to get approval from my castmates. Like, you're not gonna select the part for me. I know what's best for me. You know what I mean? And I don't need to audition.

[Drew Adkins]

See, I agree. But at this. The problem is that that's what they signed up. That's what they wanted. She said, yeah, let's audition. So she agreed to.

[Corey Adams]

She did agree.

[Drew Adkins]

So I'm like, if you flopped, bitch, you flopped. You take that L and you. You be having.

[Corey Adams]

Well, anyways, girl. So Athena's like, no, no, no. Hell no. You're not taking my part.

[Drew Adkins]

She got you.

[Corey Adams]

She did.

[Drew Adkins]

She said.

[Corey Adams]

Bitch said, excuse me?

[Drew Adkins]

No, I mean, no, I mean, foreshadowing. Maybe she should have stringed us the part.

[Corey Adams]

But Mikey. Mikey decides to play some mind games and be like, you want the part? You want the part this bad? If you want the part this bad, just take it and let's just move on. Let's move on. No, no, no, no. Let's move on. Let's move on.

[Monet X Change]

You got it.

[Corey Adams]

You got the part, sis. You're the lead. Let's move on.

[Drew Adkins]

She said, here you go, baby.

[Corey Adams]

Here you go. Let's move on. Next. Next, Next. And Nini's like, hold on, hold on. Wait, wait. Nini started.

[Drew Adkins]

She said, I don't know if I want anymore. What the fuck do you want. I was like, her white privilege is showing.

[Corey Adams]

I will say it's so funny because it reminds me of what Sapphira did during rdr Live with Mirage. Cause Mirage and Sapphira both wanted the host, and Sapphire was like, you know what, girl? You take it. I don't even want it. You take it. And then Mirage started spiraling.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch.

[Corey Adams]

So she said, fuck, it's just crazy what being insecure in a situation like that can do. You know what I mean? Like, if. So you weren't really about it. So, Nini, you weren't really about it because now you're.

[Drew Adkins]

Now that's what I mean. Like, you weren't that confident in that, like, right?

[Corey Adams]

What. What exactly. I'm. I'm sorry, what exactly would have. Like, I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think of, like, what exactly.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, did you really want it, right?

[Corey Adams]

Like, if Nene did get the role, like, how would that have played out?

[Drew Adkins]

She just. But the thing is, like, she doesn't want the validation of having it. You know what I mean? Like, but after she found out that she was like, oh, bitch, I'm gonna flop this role. Like, after we just watched Mikey chew you up, now she's like, oh, bitch, well, I'mma have it. And no one's gonna be happy for me. Let me just not. Like, she knew the consequences of the role and then she was like, actually, let me sit by it.

[Corey Adams]

I will say it would have been nice for, like, Nene to have fully accepted that role and to see like some retribution, you know what I mean? To see her just flop it miserably. That would have been entertaining also.

[Drew Adkins]

Also, we'll get there. But the wig choice would have been hilarious to see Aunt Nene. But anyway, so they're recording this, y'.

[Corey Adams]

All.

[Drew Adkins]

It was a lot. Juicy's whispering, Nene's sounding crazy. Kenya was eating it up. I was so happy. I was like, kenya has been having a hard ass time. I was like, finally my girl is coming through and doing her big one. Because, bitch, there is nothing more embarrassing than recording your verse for the rusical. You never had to do this. Cause y', all, y' all were just lip syncing some little bullshit that they already fucking wrote and sang and did everything. Y' all just had to walk in and do it. We had to go and record it. And it's so embarrassing recording it and you can't sing and everybody in the back, the fucking peanut gallery's laughing at you while you talking.

[Corey Adams]

We had a Moment like that, though, because we had two girl group challenges, essentially, and we had to do that for the power. That's been nice for the power performance. We had to do that.

[Drew Adkins]

Isn't it just so bad recording with

[Corey Adams]

everybody in the back? Everybody in the back, like, you know, sitting there listening to you.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, but at least the girl group challenge. You can pick your verse, you can write your verse, you can change, you can fix your tone, you can decide your journey. They give you that sound. You need to sound what the sound is sounding for. Sure, that is annoying to handle with

[Corey Adams]

everybody with you, like, recording in the. Literally on the main stage, like, the empty main stage with the girls in the back. As soon as you start, like, floundering and just, like, flopping a little bit, here they go. And bitch. No, literally. It's so childish. It's so childish. But it really gets in your head. And it's just now you're just on a streak, like, on a downward spiral, bitch, like, because you hear those bitches laughing in the back and you're like, motherfuck. Like, fuck, Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

[Drew Adkins]

I literally remember doing the rusical and I'm over here trying to hit this note, and I just hear everybody go. You see Michelle just like. I was like, well, I'm literally. I knew it was like. I feel like when you record and it's a flop, you know, it's not giving. Like, you know, it's not giving. And Juicy, she can't talk.

[Corey Adams]

Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing with Juicy and why I feel like she's getting that critique from the judges, from RuPaul in particular. Like, you need to come out of your shell. We don't know you. You know what I mean? It's because Juicy is. She's, like, so clenched. Like, you can just tell that her asshole is clenched. Like, she is tighter than something that's tight. Help me out here. Fill in the blank. You can tell that she's just kind of nervous, which is crazy to me, because I feel like in the beginning, she was fully, like a. A frontrunner. Like, she's. She's won. She has two challenge wins. She won RDR Live, where I feel like RDR Live is. I mean, that's a comedy based challenge. So you have to be able to, like, give character for that. And she was great in that, in my opinion. So why is it now that she's sort of floundering and she, like, can't step up to the plate and just give some character? Like, you know, it's musical, it's a music, it's a rusical, it's musical theater. You kind of have to like, camp it up, you know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

I feel like it's because she's very good and excels at the things she's good at, but she's also not, like, well rounded enough to do the things that she's not good at. You know what I mean? Like, she knows how to use her physicality, she knows how to dance, she knows how to perform. So the first couple challenges were all performing challenges. So she could just slay and eat the bitches up every single week, I feel like. And then the comedy challenge.

[Corey Adams]

But I feel like she showed us that she could do comedy in RDR Live and she needs to. She needs to wake those chops back up. I feel like she. She forgot. She kind of lost that somewhere.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, but she had someone that, like, Mikey, that can like, boost her and like, help her, like, feel good about herself to perform the way she wants to. But now she's like, alone and she's getting her head and now she's like, second guessing it. You know what I mean?

[Corey Adams]

So, you know, I'm rooting for Juicy. I love Juicy, of course. But yeah, I agree, babe.

[Monet X Change]

I agree.

[Corey Adams]

Like, she needs to. She needs to unclench. She needs to loosen up and just act a fool. Act a fool. Sometimes in drag, you just gotta. You just gotta let go and let loose. You can take yourself very seriously, you know, as a very, like, technically skilled performer and dancer as she is, but you also need to know when it's time to just, like, be. Be silly and goofy and be a

[Drew Adkins]

clown, you know, Real, real. Athena sounded like, you know, the childhood theme song. Do you know the child?

[Corey Adams]

You're gonna have to remind me.

[Drew Adkins]

You take the moon and you take the sun. You take every. Like that.

[Corey Adams]

Hey there. Hey there.

[Drew Adkins]

I feel like every time she. They say it gives Dr. Seuss, it gives very much. Just like, I'm athena from the 305 for sure. Miami. I come alive. I was like, oh, there's a certain

[Corey Adams]

cadence that she always raps with, sings with, whatever you want to call it.

[Drew Adkins]

It's like, it's always the drag race verse cadence, you know what I mean?

[Corey Adams]

This is your journey. Lead the way. I'm Athena,

[Drew Adkins]

girl. She was Kiki. As soon as she's put that voice and that mic, I said, oh, it's a rap. I said, oh, it's a rap. So, yeah, and they started dancing. How do you feel about the dancing?

[Corey Adams]

Juicy and Kenya were doing great. They said, yeah, Juicy and Kenya were doing great. And then Athena starts voguing, too, with her flat palms. Honey. Yes.

[Drew Adkins]

Athena is so brunch coated. She said, damn, they don't do this at Lady Marmalade.

[Corey Adams]

She said.

[Drew Adkins]

She said, damn. She said, when I perform, hey, big spender. I ain't never did none of this. You know what I mean? Like, she was over it. She was like, Discord and Nene looked crazy. Okay.

[Corey Adams]

They did look crazy. I will say, though, maybe it's. Maybe it's because I am also of Caucasian descent. But I really.

[Drew Adkins]

You saw yourself in that.

[Corey Adams]

I. I guess I did, because I really didn't think it was that bad. Like, I thought they were doing the moves that they were showing them to do.

[Drew Adkins]

Y'. All. It was quiet.

[Corey Adams]

I really. But they were. But they all they were doing. They were doing, like, the Running man or whatever.

[Drew Adkins]

And it was just like, you're doing the move, but it's stiff.

[Corey Adams]

I agree. Yeah, no, it's no stiff.

[Drew Adkins]

It is stiff. It's just like, it was. It was crazy.

[Corey Adams]

It is stiff. It is tough.

[Drew Adkins]

Also, I have no size, like, chart. I don't know what the height differences are. I don't know how tall anyone on this season is. I'm confused. I thought Disco was, like, five' three. She stand next to Nene, bitch at the same height. But Nene looks huge. So I'm confused. On.

[Corey Adams]

Nene looks pretty short to me. Nene looks wide.

[Drew Adkins]

You think Nene looks wide? Look at that.

[Corey Adams]

She.

[Drew Adkins]

I was like, she looks.

[Corey Adams]

I would say. I would say, you know, more huge in width than in length, to be honest. But

[Drew Adkins]

we'll get there when we get to the Runway. Because I had to know about that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's get real for a second. You know that the voice in your head that's like, what if I'm secretly a bad person? Or why did I just have that super disturbing thought? It's not just you. We all get unwanted thoughts like that sometimes. But if those thoughts feel stuck. Cause you're in intense distress and you spend hours spiraling googling things and asking your friends from the millionth time if you're a good person. Yeah. You might be dealing with more than just overthinking. It could actually be ocd. And if you're thinking no. OCD is all about being super organized. Nah. Stereotypes have it all wrong, babe.

[Monet X Change]

Actually, OCD is being terrorized by unwanted thoughts that feel urgent and real and doing whatever you can to make the distress from those Thoughts go away. Like constantly asking for reassurance, avoiding things, replaying thoughts over and over, trying to solve them or to get rid of them somehow. But the more attention you give OCD thoughts, the stronger they get. That's what makes OCD so debilitating. But it's also totally treatable when you get the right kind of help. Now, not all therapy works for all conditions. OCD needs a specialized typotherapy called Exposure and Responsive Prevention, or erp, not regular talk therapy, because that can actually make it a lot worse.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's where NOCD comes in. They're literally the world's leading provider of OCD treatment. No CD therapists specialize in treating OCD with ERP therapy and they're trained by experts so they actually know what they're doing and how to help you.

[Drew Adkins]

I thought, like, in my head, I'm like, discord, Mikey. All them are like, five, five, five, six. Right? Then I'm thinking, like, the Nene's. Nikanya's like, five, nine. Darlene standing next to somebody. That bitch was like, 20ft tall. She was standing next to Mikey. That bitch is literally six, seven. I was like, that bitch is huge. Like, that is good, girl. Bye. She was so. I don't know. I need, like, a height chart anyway,

[Corey Adams]

I guess. Anyways, what were we talking about? Oh, the fact that Nene and Discord were stiff as a board, Honeywood dancing.

[Drew Adkins]

That was crazy.

[Corey Adams]

Who came next? Who came after them?

[Drew Adkins]

It was Mikey and Darlene. Oh, Mikey and Darlene. And then huge, huge, huge monster in the little ones.

[Corey Adams]

I was like, jack and the Jack and the Beanstalk, Honey. Darlene's the beanstalk.

[Drew Adkins]

I don't even know what that is.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, maybe. Maybe Athena. Maybe Athena can school you on that. She speaks in nursery rhymes, as we

[Drew Adkins]

know, but that's her new hit single, girl. Anyway, they do the makeup thing of sob story. Sob story. Sob story.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah. I kind of fast forwarded through that, sorted through that no shade girl.

[Drew Adkins]

Honestly, there was nothing giving. I was like, all right, we're setting up the Juicy and Athena. Why are these boring?

[Corey Adams]

Like, they want to be mad at me that I said that There are no stars. There are no. Who's the villain?

[Drew Adkins]

I was like, y' all don't get. I was like, when y' all do y' all makeup, y' all don't get bored. Like, if I was someone, I would have walked in like, so, Mikey, you happy you got the part? Or, like, did you want any?

[Corey Adams]

Like, why ain't nobody stirring, Girl, you know the story. The story. Producers were in that room, like, looking at each other like, girl, what the hell do we do right now?

[Drew Adkins]

I was like, take some initiative. I would have walked up to Nene, like, you nervous? I would have walked up to my nervous. Nervous. No one's wouldn't want them to.

[Corey Adams]

No. Like, are these.

[Drew Adkins]

What's Latina? You vogue? Are no G. Like, I want to be these girls.

[Corey Adams]

These girls are right. These girls are not competing Honey, I. It just. It feels like nobody is confident enough to, like, really stir the pot.

[Drew Adkins]

It's because, you see, y' all fans, y' all did this. Y' all did this. Y' all too negative on these girls. And don't let them be nasty now. They scared now. Everybody, everybody. Katy Perry, Taylor Swift.

[Corey Adams]

Ah, Drag Queen's.

[Drew Adkins]

I'm so tired.

[Corey Adams]

Drag Queen's egos are just too fragile. Like, nobody wants to see negative things said about them online. Like, everyone's like, y' all 18.

[Drew Adkins]

Y' all can be. It's all right. They'll get over it. Throw a chair. 19. 19. When y' all get up in that set, throw a chair. We'll be fine. I'll back you up. If you throw a chair, I will literally have your back all season.

[Corey Adams]

Me, too, but just throw that chair. Me, too. Honestly.

[Drew Adkins]

Honestly, girl, just throw that chair. Anyway, so we get to the Runway, and first question I have immediately is, who is Benny Blanco?

[Corey Adams]

I don't know who that is. I know. I know.

[Drew Adkins]

Who is Gracie Abrams?

[Corey Adams]

I don't.

[Drew Adkins]

Gracie Abrams there, apparently, like, she's in the song, but she's canceled. And. Oh, yeah, I know that Benny Blanco also produced.

[Corey Adams]

I know that Gracie Abrams is canceled because I'm. I'm on Twitter a lot. I know. Sorry. But I've never. I don't think I've ever listened to a Gracie Abrams song ever in full.

[Drew Adkins]

I'm like, what did she do?

[Corey Adams]

I think. I think she was married. What did she do?

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, Benny Blanco is married to.

[Corey Adams]

Did you not know that?

[Drew Adkins]

I was literally confused on, girl, Benny Blanco is.

[Corey Adams]

It's crazy to me because you're so educated on, like, pop culture. Like, you're so, like, in with the times, but it also feels like you don't know these, like, very basic.

[Drew Adkins]

I didn't even know Selena had a. So he's not queer.

[Corey Adams]

No, babe, no, listen. Listen to me. Listen to me. Benny Blanco is Selena Gomez's famously hideous husband. Like, he is hideous, girl. That's. That's why he's been making the rounds sort of on social media for years now. It's because everyone's like, why is Selena with this, like, ugly, like, dirty foot, like, farting, Neanderthal looking, gap toothed, like, teeth dancing in his mouth, uncouth, unwashed, unhoused looking man. Like, why is she with this man? His feet did look crazy.

[Drew Adkins]

He had. He should.

[Corey Adams]

I'm gonna send you. I'm send you this clip that's making the rounds on Twitter. Please don't Apparently. Apparently he started, like, a podcast or something. And he's sitting on the couch with bare feet, and you could see the bottoms of his feet, and they're grimy. Like, he's been, like, trekking through, I don't know, skid row or something, barefoot. Like, he. Every. Those feet look like the Pacific island of garbage. Like, they're nasty. The soles of those feet are nasty. Moreover, he starts his podcast by, like, farting into the mic. He's just gross. He's. He's absolutely nasty.

[Drew Adkins]

Well. Well, I'm disgusted. Anyway, Michelle looks fab. Jamal sims look sickening. RuPaul.

[Monet X Change]

She.

[Drew Adkins]

She felt like working tonight. Mama looks amazing.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, my gosh. And I don't know how much of this Benny Blanco Lil Roast you're gonna include for me, but I just wanna. I just wanna throw out a little disclaimer that I do love Selena Gomez. I love her. You know, I don't know what she sees in this man, but it is no shade to you, Selena. I love you and I love rare beauty. So if you could send me some more of it, it would be amazing, honestly.

[Drew Adkins]

Real. Love you, Selena, but this song was the wrong song.

[Corey Adams]

I agree. Can you imagine? No, no. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it later when we talk about the lip sync.

[Drew Adkins]

We'll talk about that.

[Corey Adams]

Because it was kind of comedy to me. It was kind of camp.

[Drew Adkins]

RuPaul looks fantastic. I live. I live for the wig. I wear this. It's kind. She looks like me recently. Should we move on to the Runway first, or should we do what we're doing?

[Corey Adams]

Recently, RuPaul's wigs have not been really serving it to me.

[Drew Adkins]

You haven't been living.

[Corey Adams]

They've just all been very, like, up and back.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah.

[Corey Adams]

And kind of short. Like, there's no real. Real link to them. They've just kind of been.

[Drew Adkins]

She's into this little Marilyn lately, which

[Corey Adams]

I don't know if. I don't know if it goes with everything, Ru. And I wish. I wish she would also, like, switch up the color here and there. Like, I would love her in a red. I would love.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, yeah. Like an auburn for this.

[Corey Adams]

I would love her in, like, an Auburn.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, I could see that. I could see. But she does do auburn.

[Corey Adams]

She.

[Drew Adkins]

I feel like she did it, like, recently.

[Corey Adams]

I haven't seen her in Auburn in a while. I feel like I.

[Drew Adkins]

But we can't. What was it? What? We're going to move on.

[Corey Adams]

What were you going to say?

[Drew Adkins]

We're going to Move on. No, I was going to say. So we're on to the.

[Corey Adams]

The challenge.

[Drew Adkins]

The musical. Yeah. And are there any standouts for you? Anyone that. Oh, my God, yes. Chewing.

[Corey Adams]

I really did not think this was a bad, bad rusical.

[Drew Adkins]

I didn't either. I thought it was good there.

[Corey Adams]

There were definitely a few standouts. Mikey being one of them. I think it opened with Mikey and Darlene.

[Drew Adkins]

Micah was great.

[Corey Adams]

First of all, I thought Darlene did great, too. Honestly, girl, that scooby Doo impersonation that she did.

[Drew Adkins]

Ruh.

[Monet X Change]

Roh.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, the voice was good. She stayed in character. I was, like, very impressed. I was like, okay.

[Corey Adams]

But Darlene gives me. Darlene also gives me very golden retriever energy. Like, she's that type of person.

[Drew Adkins]

It was, like, the perfect role for her. Yeah.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, totally.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, I'm kind of. At first, like, when she first, like, literally episode one, I have, like, a complete 180 with Darlene. Cause at first she walked in, I said, oh, this ain't it, girl. This is the top, girl. I was like, girl, this is wackadoo. I was like, this girl is wackadoo. But now every week, I'm like, girl, She's.

[Corey Adams]

She's been stepping it up for sure. She's been surprising us.

[Drew Adkins]

She was. Girl. They had Mikey in this Gigi Good nickel wig. I was gagged.

[Corey Adams]

Not wigs by Gigi Good.

[Drew Adkins]

I was gagged.

[Corey Adams]

She took. She.

[Drew Adkins]

I was like, go. If I was hair, I'm like, the texture is just a little. Like, this is just a little much. Like, it was pushing it just a little bit.

[Corey Adams]

I mean, I also thought it was questionable, but I wasn't going to be the one to say it. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

And it was like, the size of the wig. Like, I thought she was gonna be like mahogany. Like, I thought she was gonna like, like, like Diana. I was like, this is.

[Corey Adams]

That's definitely. Yeah, that's definitely the wig that I would personally avoid at the beauty supply if I saw it. But you know what? Sometimes production. Sometimes production just, like, tells you to do things. And you're there. You're like, are you sure? And they're like, yeah, yeah, it'll be fine. So you just. You just go along with it. Like, when.

[Drew Adkins]

When. No. Cause I know they gave her the wig. She said, fuck.

[Corey Adams]

And you know what? We don't. We're not gonna fault Mikey for that. Because, you know, something similar happened in our season when they gave dawn and morphine body by Megan Thee stallion to lip sync to and a Line in that song is, I'm a hot ebony. And dawn was listening to it and was like.

[Drew Adkins]

And she was like, see?

[Corey Adams]

So, you know, little White dawn was like, are you. Are you gonna leave that in for me? For me to lip sync to? I'm a hot ebony.

[Monet X Change]

They were like.

[Drew Adkins]

And they said, yeah, yeah, that was crystal. They were like, that was crystal. She was like, guys, I'm scared to. When Lipstick song, it says, like, black vagina. I was like, girl, if you want the top, bitch, just say black. Black vagina. Like, you better wakanda. You better give it, girl. I'll give a fuck. I was like, I'll defend you, bitch. You need to win this lipstick, girl.

[Corey Adams]

Mama, you were. You. You were down there painting her vagina. Oh, let's not go there

[Drew Adkins]

with a black paintbrush, girl. Just. Girl, you got a method act, honey. You got a method act.

[Corey Adams]

We can move on, girl. We can move on.

[Drew Adkins]

So, so, so, so, so. So let's gag it. Where are we at? So Athena. Athena is dancing girl.

[Corey Adams]

I did a straight.

[Drew Adkins]

Girl.

[Corey Adams]

I'm sorry to. I'm sorry to pause our regular scheduled programming. I just got. I did a viewing party for House of Villains at Roscoe's, and I wore, like, you know, another one of my. You know, another. Another little slop. Slop. Another little slouchy outfit. And tell me why I look like Big Fanny Smacker. Like, I looked at this picture and thought it was big Fanny, girl.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, my God, you look sturdy. Anyway, so. Anyway, so.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Mikey. I'm not over Mikey. Mikey did amazing. Mikey's voice in that opening scene was so fierce.

[Drew Adkins]

Really good. Like, I was, like, kind of gagged. I was like, girl, this is, like, professional. Like, I was like, it was great.

[Corey Adams]

Her and Darlene killed that opening sequence.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, to me, her and Darlene, that gave, like, a real show. Like, that could have been, like, a real. Like, it could have been, like, a YouTube series or some shit. Like, I was like, I see the vibe. Like, I see. And then.

[Corey Adams]

So right after her now. Are you familiar with Annie the Musical? Have you seen Annie? Me neither. Me neither.

[Drew Adkins]

She's orphan, right?

[Corey Adams]

I have. I. I would assume so. I mean, Orphan Annie. Okay. I would assume so.

[Drew Adkins]

There's something with chimneys or something.

[Corey Adams]

I didn't even see the, like, modernized reimagining that they made into a movie with Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.

[Drew Adkins]

And isn't she black now? Is that why they did the hair? Isn't there a black Annie?

[Corey Adams]

Oh, I thought you were talking about Cameron Diaz being black now? No, I was like. I don't know about that. Maybe by injection girl. But. Oh, yeah, I feel like. I feel like in the movie, she. She was, I believe.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, okay. Where.

[Corey Adams]

So maybe you. Maybe you saw the. The trailers or something? Because I. I didn't. I didn't watch the movie. I only saw, like, promotional material for it.

[Drew Adkins]

But

[Corey Adams]

yeah, I don't know the story. So I assume that the characters in this musical were.

[Drew Adkins]

Are, like, real.

[Corey Adams]

Are references to, like, the characters in Annie.

[Drew Adkins]

I would assume from what I'm getting from this rusical. The real premise of Annie is, like, she's, like, doing a competition to get adopted.

[Corey Adams]

Was she doing that in the musical Annie? I mean, we wouldn't know, right?

[Drew Adkins]

I mean, in this musical, she wanted to have a drag house, so she would. So I'm not.

[Corey Adams]

Because. Because I don't know if you caught. Was both a combination of, like, Annie and Paris is Burning. Oh, they literally. They literally mentioned it. They like those.

[Drew Adkins]

I'm over here, like. So was Andy, like, performing? Like, was she, like, campaigning to get adopted? Like, I was so, like, girl, Annie. Was she like, pick me, pick me, girl.

[Corey Adams]

You. You really thought that Annie was out there voguing, Voguing down, not voting for those adoption papers? Girl, to get those adoption papers signed. I can't.

[Drew Adkins]

I thought it gave, like, a singing audition. She had, like, sing to her, like, new mother to get adopted or something.

[Corey Adams]

I don't know if. I don't know if that's.

[Drew Adkins]

And then they wanted it down and, like, added voguing to make it, like, drag race. Maybe I should be watching Annie. Anyways.

[Corey Adams]

Comment below if you guys want to see me and Corey live react to Annie, we can,

[Drew Adkins]

girl. Anyways, so Athena was looking crazy.

[Corey Adams]

I thought she looked good.

[Drew Adkins]

It gave, like, it just gave, like, oh, here.

[Corey Adams]

Damn.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, it just gave. Like, she was just like, oh, my God.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. The dancing. The dancing was. Was chopped. Especially after seeing Juicy and Kenya, like, kill it.

[Drew Adkins]

No shade. They ate it up. They look completely on a different planet, different land. They didn't even match. The outfit was crazy.

[Corey Adams]

That's true. I will say that I agree with sort of the point that Kenya kind of, you know, overshadowed Juicy.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. Cause it just. It didn't give, like, complimentary. It kind of just gave, like, Kenya's, like, doing her big one, and then Juicy's slipping in the back. You know what I mean?

[Corey Adams]

Well, I mean, to be fair, if Kenya's standing in front of you, it's hard to be seen you know what I mean? Just physically, but so physically and, you know, metaphorically, Kenya overshadowed Juicy.

[Drew Adkins]

Well, well, yes, but also, I'm like, who gave Kenya that wig?

[Corey Adams]

I don't even remember what was the wig.

[Drew Adkins]

It was that white, flat, little. The flat, little white wig. That's a wig. I would have worn my season, so I can't even talk shit, but that wig. Maybe you got to get into the wig.

[Corey Adams]

Let me see if I can pull this up, because I'm not even sure I remember. No, we just have the.

[Drew Adkins]

The wig, bitch. That's a wig. I used to go my whole bar blend. I used to be at a blend with that wig. I know that wig. Anyway, Discord. Nene, they were good. It was like. It was.

[Corey Adams]

Wait, wait, hold on, hold on. I feel like you're moving. You're moving ahead too quickly. Did you think Juicy did? Well, no.

[Drew Adkins]

I mean, like, technically, like, she did all the moves, right? But I feel like that's not what this is about. You know what I mean? This is about humor and comedy and camping it up.

[Corey Adams]

I feel like it wasn't bad, like, what Juicy did. Oh, what Juicy did wasn't bad by any means. Obviously, choreography is always gonna be on point with Juicy, but. Yeah, I agree. She could have given it, like, a little more. It sounded like she was sort of going in, like, the Valley girl direction. Like, I wish she took it all

[Drew Adkins]

the way there, but then, like.

[Corey Adams]

Like, take. Take it there.

[Drew Adkins]

I'm like, you. You a Valley girl with a bus driver bob. I was like, girl, wear like you.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, girl.

[Drew Adkins]

She should have wore a little blonde little moment. She should have always been scooting her dress down and, like.

[Corey Adams]

Yes.

[Drew Adkins]

You know what I mean? Like, she could have just. She could have. She could have chewed this. You know what I mean?

[Corey Adams]

Did you see? Apparently, she learned all the. Everyone else's choreography and was helping them afterwards.

[Drew Adkins]

Why? Why?

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, I. I would agree with Corey there. That's, you know, helping. Helping your contestant, like competitors helping your competition is like a foreign concept to me. Like, I don't really know why you

[Drew Adkins]

would do that, but my thing is, like, you ain't even confident in this challenge, but you helping everybody else. How'd that work? I was like, you. You got in the. So you mean telling me you recorded that song, right? You knew it was the fool, and then you went back and helped everybody else. I would've been cutting dresses at that point.

[Corey Adams]

Unless you are 100% confident that you are going to nail this challenge, there should be no reason why you're paying more attention to other bitches, like, over yourself. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Like, you know, who gives, like, help? Like, someone like Mikey or Jane gives, like, let me help you out because I know I'm gonna do good. And I. I'm not worried about what everybody else is doing. Juicy, bitch, I'd be nervous. I would not be helping nobody. That's like me helping somebody on a summer challenge. Bitch, I can't even sell. For real. So why would I be helping you? Threaten Needle. I could barely do what the fuck I'm doing.

[Corey Adams]

Well, I guess to be fair, you know, Juicy can dance. You know, half of the challenge is to dance and perform, which Juicy is very competent at. That being said, that being said, knowing that perhaps the actual, like, musical part of it did it really good for you, I would be. I wouldn't be helping anybody and hoping that somebody slips. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Thank you.

[Corey Adams]

Trips, slips, whatever. Anyways, we talked about Athena a little bit. Her. The choreo was kind of chopped. Chops. The choreo was kind of chopped. You know, the Dr. Seuss rhyme scheme came back again. The little. Yeah, I don't know. It was.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, I was. That was a mess. Disco and Nini were there. It was like. It was, like, safe. It was like. I didn't think it was bad, actually.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, wait.

[Drew Adkins]

Looking back.

[Corey Adams]

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I hate to keep doing this and keep bringing it back, but I have one more thing to say about Athena. Even though Athena's performance wasn't the best, it wasn't great. I did not appreciate the way that they kept cutting to Michelle and Rue looking at her like. Like, looking at her crazy. Don't disrespect my mother like that. Don't.

[Drew Adkins]

You know. You know what it is? The problem is you could just tell she was over it. Like, you could tell in her face she was over it.

[Corey Adams]

Even.

[Drew Adkins]

That was the problem.

[Corey Adams]

Here's the thing. Even to me, even when Athena's flopping, it's fierce. It's ignorant. Happening, okay?

[Drew Adkins]

No shade.

[Corey Adams]

I live. I. I cannot take my eyes off of her because I'm like, what is this train wreck happening in front of me? You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Easy street. No, I almost.

[Corey Adams]

We'll get there. But I almost wish. I almost wish they kept her to, like, for us to get more pot. Just to start more pot and get more flop. Athena content. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Well, yes, honestly. So who else was that? Jane?

[Corey Adams]

Oh, Nene. Discord. Nene. And disc. How did you like them? Whatever.

[Drew Adkins]

It wasn't bad. I honestly, I think they, it was, it was perfectly fine. No one really did bad.

[Corey Adams]

Nini and Discord were fine to me as well. I didn't particularly, I didn't particularly care for, care for those roles, to be honest. I just. Anything.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. But they didn't pick it.

[Corey Adams]

They didn't pick it. They didn't.

[Drew Adkins]

I mean, Nini picked it.

[Corey Adams]

They didn't pick it. But I feel like Nene's approach several times in this competition has been when she's, like, recording vocals has been to go more butch. And I guess the first time I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she was like, her voice is bad. Yeah, she, like, lost her voice, I guess. But now I'm like, girl, like, why do you always, like, why are you so masculine? Like, why are you just trying to be the man? You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, but it's weird because she doesn't strike me as someone that is masculine, but in drag. She wants to.

[Corey Adams]

Like, she, in, in drag.

[Drew Adkins]

She's androgynated, I guess.

[Corey Adams]

Guess it's, it's kind of like maybe the default she resorts to because, again, her body is shaped very like, I, I, I said this before, and I'll say it again.

[Drew Adkins]

I can't wait for a bitches. I can't wait for a bitch to gag you. They gotta put a screenshot of you, bitch, with a picture of you from me and GRE looking crazy.

[Corey Adams]

I, I'm sorry, but I don't think my ribcage is as protrusive and, and wide as Nene Coco's. I don't think I'm as boxy. I'm so sorry. Like, sure, I'm gaining weight, but, like, I'm still proportionizing myself. You know what I mean? Like, everything else is getting bigger with my weight, so.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, my God, they're gonna think we hate these girls. We don't. I love all of you.

[Corey Adams]

I mean, I am.

[Drew Adkins]

We're just having fun.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah. I don't, I don't mean to sound like a hater, but, like, I just, I don't know. Like, I like what I like, and,

[Drew Adkins]

you know, that's why I can never be a judge, because I feel like my, like, my viewpoints are sometimes very skewed. So I feel like I am not qualified to be judging people.

[Corey Adams]

But listen, it's just, it's not our personal taste. It's not our personal taste, and that's, and that's fine. I think I think Nini and Discord were perfectly safe. I just. I wasn't a fan of these, like, butch, like, chimney sweep roles. I didn't, again, chalk it up to, like, me not being familiar with, like, the musical, but I was like, why are these bitches. What are the. First of all. What are they doing? Are they turning butter or, like, sweeping the floor?

[Drew Adkins]

I was confused. And then again, did you do good wigs? This is. This is where it got on. I was like, what is happening? It looked like, you know, what's that? The Polar Express. It looked like the Polar Express girl wig. I was like, why is it. And also, why is it like, Lego blocks? I was like, who was making this wig? Yeah. I don't know. That wig was crazy. Anyway, shall we move on to the wig? Yeah, it's just.

[Corey Adams]

It's like the texture of those wigs. What was that?

[Drew Adkins]

It was like yaki, but it was like yarn. Like, was this also the mop? I was like, very.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, no, no, we can't move on yet because Jane. We haven't talked about Jane yet.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, my God, girl. Jane. Motherfucker, don't. Is my winner. I'm sorry that from the beginning to the end, the bitch stayed in character. If you look in the back, everyone's doing choreography. She's in it, like, the whole time. Sounded amazing. Her and Mikey definitely, like, yeah, shoot.

[Corey Adams]

And I agree. I thought Jane did great. And then after. I will say, though, after Jane, Mikey, and Darlene came on stage to do that little bit, and it kind of came out of nowhere, but it gags me in, like, the best way. They started, like, twerking. Twerking and shaking ass.

[Drew Adkins]

It was sick, baby.

[Corey Adams]

It was. It was fierce. I honestly think in the challenge, Mikey edged out Jane a little bit for me.

[Drew Adkins]

Really?

[Corey Adams]

Just because I. I think that. I mean, Mikey was obviously the lead, and I think there was, like, a little bit. There were a little bit more levels to her performance. And. And the singing, I think, was. Was fantastic. Fantastic.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. I feel like. I feel like they're both, like, amazing. It was like, well, definitely, like, Jane was good.

[Corey Adams]

Jane was good, for sure. But again, like, chalk it up to me not being familiar with the musical. I was kind of like, who is this supposed to be? Like, why?

[Drew Adkins]

That must be, like, another person that's not adopted. I don't know. Are they all not adopted? But you know what I mean? Like, I don't. Are they all children?

[Corey Adams]

But. Exactly. But Jane didn't. See. Jane was drunk, and she seemed like she was.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. That's why I'm like, so are you also an orphan?

[Corey Adams]

I think Jane. Jane was maybe, like, like, the. The patron mother of, like, the other orphanage, the, like, rival orphanage. I don't know. I'm just making these stories up in my head.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, maybe me.

[Corey Adams]

I'm like, we. We have to kind of fill in the blanks because we're not familiar with. With source. With the source material.

[Drew Adkins]

All right, enough, enough, enough. We had to move on to the runways.

[Corey Adams]

Okay. Okay, let's do it. Yeah, let's go look at the runways. We.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, first. First one. Up, up. Mikey Meeks. What do you think?

[Corey Adams]

Love this. I would wear this. This is so. This is so me coded. I think this Runway.

[Drew Adkins]

I would like to do this for you.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, this Runway. This is like. I feel like out of all the runways tonight, this is the one that I would personally wear. Of course, I would bring my waist in a little bit more and pad myself out a little more, you know, just more body and.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, I would also. I feel like the other thing I would change about this. Her eye makeup is a little bit too blown out and unblended for my liking, and I also wish it was. I wish it wasn't a gray. I wish it was, like, a beige brown.

[Drew Adkins]

A beige nude.

[Corey Adams]

And the red lip is an interesting choice. I would have done a nude lip, and the hair is a little bit too long. Like, if you're gonna do that, like, I needed to.

[Drew Adkins]

You want it to be, like.

[Corey Adams]

I need it to be flipped at the base of the neck and not, like, at the shoulder, shoulder length. I think it's a little too long. Just some stylistic nitpicks for me, personally, I think otherwise, I really find this look really cut, and it's. I would totally wear it.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, same. I like this. You know, I hate a pump, but she's wearing an office look, so the pump I actually like on this. Yeah, Yeah, I agree. The only thing. The only. The only real problems I have is I wish. Yeah, again, cinched more, like, more body. But then if there was, like, a tad little bit more, like, texture, like, a little bit of, like, a darker tan for, like, the buttons and, like, the trim just, like, so you can just see. Or even if, like, the jacket was lined with a darker color so you can just like, have dimensions.

[Corey Adams]

I can see what you mean. Yeah. Like, open up the jacket, and there's, like, a darker quilting in there. I. I could see that for sure. But I like that. I like that. It's like, I like that it's like mono. Monotone, monochromatic. It's very sleek, and I love the quilting. And honestly, she didn't even need to open the jacket for me personally, because, yeah, there's nothing really interesting going on under. Under there. But I. Yeah, I really. I fuck with this look a lot. It's fierce. It's fierce.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, next up, Darlene. Honestly, probably my favorite look of the night. Honestly, truly, this was hot to me. This was sickening.

[Corey Adams]

This look is cool. Yeah. I don't mind it.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, who made this? This is dope. Like, it's fab. I mean, the wig is a little wackadoo. The wig is a little wackadoo, but honestly, I'm not. I. It's so good. I'm not even mad at it. Bitch. It's kind.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, the wig. The wig isn't. Isn't. Also isn't my favorite. I guess the whole look is. So I'm, like, wondering what I. What I would recommend instead.

[Drew Adkins]

That's what I mean. Like, I feel like I don't have. Have a solution, so maybe, like, maybe.

[Corey Adams]

Because it definitely. It definitely needed to be something up because the costume is so. Like, it's hiding her neck, so.

[Drew Adkins]

Or maybe like, shorter, Like. Like something tighter on the head.

[Corey Adams]

Like a little. Like a little bus driver pussycat would love.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. Or like, hear me out. You know those. Like, those hairdos when it's like. Remember like, back when pink was black? Like, you know, it's like. It's like super short, but it's, like spiky. Like, randomly spiky.

[Corey Adams]

Like Zack and Cody's mom teeth.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. I don't know why I thought that would kind of be kind.

[Corey Adams]

Totally.

[Drew Adkins]

I don't know.

[Corey Adams]

I could see it. I could see it. Or. Or maybe like a fierce bowl cut. I could see like a. Like a Rock Lee. Like a Rock Lee bowl cut, but, like, blonde.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, a bowl cut would actually wake it up. Okay, fine. But, yeah, this was kind.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, I agree. This is very. This is very cool. I enjoy. I enjoy this look.

[Drew Adkins]

It's probably.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, it definitely gone in her Instagram.

[Drew Adkins]

Wait, what happened?

[Corey Adams]

The photo she did and post on Instagram. She has a different wig. See, the girls. The girls love to fucking do that. That's. It's their favorite thing to do is where are you?

[Drew Adkins]

Because sometimes you look back and you're like, oh, no.

[Corey Adams]

I guess.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, see the wig? She. Oh, bitch. That's what it is.

[Corey Adams]

Wait, let me see. Let me see. Hold on, let me See? Oh, okay.

[Drew Adkins]

I like that. I like.

[Corey Adams]

That's cute. Yeah, I like that a little bit better. I mean, do. I do. I love that? I don't know if I. I like it more. I like it more. I like it more. I don't. I'm not obsessed with it, but I do like it more. I think it's, like, more sleek, which is what this look kind of needed.

[Drew Adkins]

This is fucking sickening. Darlene. She ate that up.

[Corey Adams]

That was funny. Yeah, I agree. Good job, Darlene. Good job. All right, moving on to.

[Drew Adkins]

Next up, Kenya pleaser.

[Corey Adams]

Kenya pleaser.

[Drew Adkins]

I live. I live. I wish the bot. I wish something different happened in the bottom. Like, I wish it was just, like, big.

[Corey Adams]

The side profile is kind of funny to me, sister. Look at the side profile.

[Drew Adkins]

What? That's kind.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, my God. She kind of looks like a fabulous, like, Faberge egg from the side profile.

[Drew Adkins]

But it just gives queen. It just gives queen. I do wish the bottom was bigger.

[Corey Adams]

Am I wrong to say that I think this wig is a little bit low on her?

[Drew Adkins]

Little, like, what hairline wise?

[Corey Adams]

It's a little low. Yeah. It's sitting a little low. She could pull it back a little bit. No.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, but it's a little bit low. Like, it's.

[Drew Adkins]

I still do it. You know what it is? Sometimes I'm just scared of, like, looking like my wig is sliding back. So then I feel like I overcompensate and move it lower.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah.

[Drew Adkins]

And I'm like, okay.

[Corey Adams]

She went to the Corey King school of wig placement on this one for sure.

[Drew Adkins]

But also, like, my hairline is receding, so I'm like, do I use the real hairline? Knock it down.

[Corey Adams]

What hairline? Just. You're bald.

[Drew Adkins]

Not too much. It's there. It's there. It's leaning. So I'm like, do I pick my truth or do I make my truth? You know what I mean? Like, that's, like. That's where we're at.

[Corey Adams]

Well, I think you can choose your own destiny, and so can Kenya. And in this case, she chose to glue it onto her forehead a little bit. But that's okay. That's okay. Because I agree, she does look beautiful. I agree with you, too. I think the top is so nice and intricate. I feel like with the bottom, especially with. I feel like the slit could have gone higher, first of all. I feel like the slit could have gone a little higher.

[Drew Adkins]

I think.

[Corey Adams]

I think so. And I think that the hem on the slit looks a little wonky to me, too.

[Drew Adkins]

I see that But I see it now.

[Corey Adams]

But, yeah, I think for Kenya, this is nice. Especially. I feel like Kenya's been a little bit inconsistent with her Runway. Like, some of her runways are really nice, and then some of them are like, okay, you literally got that at Sears. Like, you went to robust. Like, you. That. Like. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

But clock it. Clock it. See how the big girl. Y' all need to. Y' all need to. Y' all need to take some notes from the big girl. See how she got that shape. See how that body. See how that hip do that?

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, she definitely.

[Drew Adkins]

Why everybody else ain't doing that.

[Corey Adams]

She definitely has a shape, babe.

[Drew Adkins]

That. That. That's cunt. When you a big girl and you can still give that. I'm sorry. There's no excuse. There's no excuse for some people. And we're gonna get there with the next person. Yeah. Juicy Love. Dion.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah. I'm sorry. Kenya. Kenya, too.

[Drew Adkins]

You look.

[Corey Adams]

You look gorgeous, Juicy. Oh, what? No, go ahead.

[Drew Adkins]

I. I like the outfit, but I feel like. So every time she wears something, it kind of just gives. Like, she's putting someone else's clothes on. Do you know what I mean? Or it feels like it's, like, over. Like, it looks. Everything looks, like, heavy on her.

[Corey Adams]

Like, do you know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

Like, it's wearing her.

[Corey Adams]

I'm gonna say this. I think Juicy has had some hits on the Runway for sure. There have been some. Some looks that I have loved from her. I think she definitely started out straight. This look. Not my favorite. It's very. It's the. I agree. I think that I don't mind. I think that the no padding thing does work for Juicy in some instances. Not here, because you're wearing, like, a column gown. A column gown. Moreover.

[Drew Adkins]

And it's puckering where the hip should be.

[Corey Adams]

Moreover, this look is very, very scrotal to me. Like, she's like. Those sleeves look like big ball sacks. And then she's wearing. And then she's wearing.

[Drew Adkins]

She's wearing the penis.

[Corey Adams]

She's the shaft, right? She's like the wrinkly shaft. It's like. And then the sleeves are the balls. And then she's wearing two little testicles on her head as well. The hair is also, like, tiered and reminiscent of, like, balls. I would say that, like, the sleeves are when it's, like, warm, girl. Like, when you're in a hot tub and, like, you're relaxed, and then the hair is, like, when it's cold, and they're like, you know, they scrunch up a little. Like, it's a little.

[Drew Adkins]

The outfit is fab, but sometimes it just. Sometimes it just gives me. Like, she went to a designer, was like, make something. And then she's just like, you know what I mean? Like, it doesn't give. Like, don't clock her so fiercely.

[Corey Adams]

Don't clock her so fiercely.

[Drew Adkins]

Girl, it gives like. It gives like she had money, she wants to design. She said, girl, make something beige. Yeah.

[Corey Adams]

Juicy. I will say there have been some looks that I've been like, juicy. She's Juicy. Looks the best this week. This is not my personal tee. This look is not my personal tee. It does look a little droopy, heavy, and scrotal. I could see the, like, Iris Van Herpen inspo that she was going for, but to me, like, I can't. I just see testicles.

[Drew Adkins]

See, it's still a two for me, but it's still kind of just like. I don't know. If she had body and it went like mermaid, I think that would've left,

[Corey Adams]

like, for me personally, this particular look is a little bit of a miss for my personal taste. But I love. I love Juicy very much. Moving on.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, no. Your mother. Athena Dion, you have the floor. This is your mom.

[Corey Adams]

Okay. So when she first came out in this, I was like, what is this wheat fixture? Like, you know how, like, there are hotels that you go to and they have, like, vases with, like, wheat in Cream of Wheat. Like, wheat. You know what I mean? Like, dry sort of. I don't know.

[Drew Adkins]

I was. You know when you go to Home Goods and they have the, like, random decor.

[Corey Adams]

Yes. I was very confused by, like, the, like, home, good decor vibe of it all. And then. And then she turned around, and I really liked the sort of tiered layers of the dress in the back. I just think that the.

[Drew Adkins]

I like that. I like that.

[Corey Adams]

I like. Yeah. So there are elements of this look that I really enjoyed. But. But I don't know. I was. At first when I saw it, I didn't really get it.

[Drew Adkins]

Bitch. This is. This, in my opinion, this is fucking crazy. Like, if you really get into it, what is the goal and what are you.

[Corey Adams]

It's like, the front is giving kind of French made, but then there's like.

[Drew Adkins]

Plus, I'm like, are you a maid? Are you working the plantation? Are you the potato sack? Why is there a flower on your head then there's a necklace, and your eyeshadow's purple.

[Corey Adams]

So this is.

[Drew Adkins]

This is too much.

[Corey Adams]

So it's. It's burlap. It's burlap, which. You're spot on with the potato sack over there. It's literally potato sack fabric, I'm pretty sure.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay.

[Corey Adams]

But, yeah, I just. I don't get the wine flowers on your head. The ornamental flowers, the ornamental wheat. If she had, like, a bucket of potato. If she had a bucket of French fries on her head. Bitch girl.

[Drew Adkins]

If she had a. But, yes. That's how much, like, yes. What is the goal here? And then she's stroking the wheats. I'm like, what? Like. And then she had purple eyeshadow. The challenge didn't need a purple eyeshadow. This look didn't need a purple eyeshadow. So what was the fight for the purple eye? Like, what was the point?

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, it's interesting. I feel like this week, usually, I really enjoy Athena and Juicy's looks, but I feel like their looks this week were, like, busy in, like, different ways. That kind of displeased me a little.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, that was fucking crazy. Next up, Discord.

[Corey Adams]

Um, but I think. I think I. I appreciate Athena's commitment to, like, doing

[Drew Adkins]

big drag.

[Corey Adams]

I was gonna say dumb shit, but yes, Discord Adams, girl. Remember when. I mean, we're gonna get to untuck later. But Nene and Darlene were saying that Kenya's look and discords had, like, similar fabric manipulation going on.

[Drew Adkins]

And on what planet?

[Corey Adams]

How Kenya. I could kind of see it, but then they were like, Kenya's looks like Discords is like, when you order it online, and Kenya's is, like, when it arrives. I think the opposite is true, to be honest.

[Drew Adkins]

What you think?

[Corey Adams]

I think Kenya's is a little bit more successful to me than this. I don't really.

[Drew Adkins]

I agree.

[Corey Adams]

I don't really love this Crazy.

[Drew Adkins]

This is. Again, I can't talk. My runways were bad, but I'm just like, what was the goal?

[Corey Adams]

To serve.

[Drew Adkins]

You know what I mean?

[Corey Adams]

Like, I think that.

[Drew Adkins]

What did the sketch look like?

[Corey Adams]

That's fair. That's fair. I agree. I'm not sure that the vision is very clear to me either with this one.

[Drew Adkins]

Cause I feel like I've, Like, I obviously have had terrible looks, but you know what the goal. I'm like, what was the goal here?

[Monet X Change]

Like?

[Drew Adkins]

And it's like. I don't know. I will say her makeup's very, like, She's a very woman.

[Corey Adams]

She kind of reminds me.

[Drew Adkins]

You know what I mean?

[Corey Adams]

She kind of reminds me of Amy Winehouse in the face a little bit. I don't know if you see it or if you even know who that

[Drew Adkins]

is, but I do. She kind of looks like a cisgendered woman in drag. Does she not in this picture here?

[Corey Adams]

So you're saying she's like.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, she has very soft. I feel like she probably has very soft features.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, Okay. I mean, you're giving her.

[Drew Adkins]

I mean, the pant is strong.

[Corey Adams]

You're giving her a lot more than I would personally. But, you know, sure. You know, she looks. She looks okay. I just.

[Drew Adkins]

Girl, the wig. Just the wig.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah. I'm just a little bit. I'm a little bit confused. I don't. I'm really. The wig. I don't personally.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, look at the wig. Look at it. Look at it. Look at the wig.

[Corey Adams]

I think we're gonna. I think we're gonna move on. I think we're gonna move on. I don't wanna look at anything anymore, to be honest. I don't wanna look at any of it anymore. We're gonna move on.

[Drew Adkins]

Your best. Your best friend, Nina. Coco. How do you feel?

[Corey Adams]

So can we go? Can we rewind? And then fast forward? Rewind to when you said, I'm gonna have something to say about Nini Coco's Runway in terms of her looking boxy. And now fast forward to this moment when she looks boxy on the Runway.

[Drew Adkins]

I'm gonna let you have the floor. What do you think about. I feel like this is something you would wear a little bit for sure.

[Corey Adams]

But again, like, my waist would be brought in. Would it not that.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. Like, you know what it is? It's just like. I don't know.

[Corey Adams]

I also would not wear this hair. I would not wear this hair.

[Drew Adkins]

I like the hair.

[Corey Adams]

Every time Nini steps on the Runway, to me, it reads butch for some reason.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay.

[Corey Adams]

It's not. I. Which. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that.

[Drew Adkins]

But see, I love that if she took it there. You know what I mean? I feel like that's not her intention, and that's the problem. You know what I mean? Like, if she really took it there, I would live. But I feel as though it's like she's never. Like. I'm like.

[Corey Adams]

There's always a very, like, sort of severe energy about her. Aggressive, I should say. That sort of lacks a sort of lacks femininity. And I would just. I would like to see. Like, this look is already so structural and severe. Like, I would like to see Nini serve some pussy instead of selling it to me. Like, she's shoving it down my throat. Cause at the end of the day, I'm gonna regurgitate that, and I'm not gonna swallow it, babe. So I just. I'm not necessarily buying what she's selling, but I'm not mad at this look. I think it's well done overall.

[Drew Adkins]

I think the look. Yeah, I think the look is well done. I just think it needs a waist and boobs.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah.

[Drew Adkins]

You know what I mean? Like. Like, if this was, like, this would have been, like, over. You know what I mean? I don't know, but it's not bad.

[Corey Adams]

I don't. I don't want to sound like a Nini Coco hater, because she's killing it. Obviously she's killing it.

[Drew Adkins]

Oh, this is like. This is. That's. She's our. Our Blair St. Clair. I already know she's our Blair St. Clair. We can't get enough.

[Corey Adams]

It's just girl, like, I'm sorry. Like, you're a dude. And.

[Drew Adkins]

But I wouldn't mind if she gave. If she was, like, full on dude. Like, that's why I'm like, give full on dude.

[Corey Adams]

You want Nini Coco to just accept the fact that she's a dude and be a drag king? Amab.

[Drew Adkins]

Not even. But I'm like, lean into it. Cause I feel like she doesn't know that she's doing it. I feel like she's like. I feel like she's unaware.

[Corey Adams]

Nene Coco, you are amabulous. Okay, moving on to Jane. Don't, honey.

[Drew Adkins]

My winner. Jane, don't. Girl cunt.

[Corey Adams]

This look is over.

[Drew Adkins]

Girl cunt.

[Corey Adams]

This look is over.

[Drew Adkins]

This is cunt. I was. I looked at this, and I was like, this is what I should have did for the monopulence challenge for that yellow outfit, I did the cheap, cheap mini dress.

[Corey Adams]

This is very you. This is very your aesthetic, too. Like you.

[Drew Adkins]

I would 100% do a silhouette like this.

[Corey Adams]

I will say you. Somehow I feel like you love very big, grand, over the top, opulent drag, which reads very old Hollywood, but you don't have any of the references in your head. I feel like Jane don't knows old Hollywood.

[Drew Adkins]

She knows all the things that I didn't even know I like.

[Corey Adams]

Right, Exactly. Jane Doan could teach you a thing or two for sure.

[Drew Adkins]

No, honestly, like, if I had the knowledge I have now, this is something I would've tried to make on Dragon.

[Corey Adams]

So my. I feel like my two favorite looks on the Runway this week were Mikey's and Jane's. Um, out of the two, I feel like Mikey's is more my aesthetic. Jane's is a little bit more grandam. Matronly. No shade.

[Drew Adkins]

Um, yeah.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, the one thing I will say, though, even though Jane looks great on the Runway, she's always, like, hobbling. Like, does. Does she have leprosy? Like, why is she always limping down the Runway?

[Drew Adkins]

I will say I also cannot walk on the Runway, so I can't talk. But maybe it's the shoe. Maybe she was wearing, like, a crazy shoe.

[Corey Adams]

I feel like Jane is always kind of limping. This. I mean, this week was no exception. The limp was very prominen. So I'm hoping that she's okay, she gets better. I'm hoping she's okay. Yeah. Don't pull a briar on us, Jane. We don't want you getting sent home.

[Drew Adkins]

Another one down, girl.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah. Due to.

[Drew Adkins]

So your top two was Mikey and Jane.

[Corey Adams]

For the. For the Runway. Yeah.

[Drew Adkins]

These mines. I'm going to go with Darlene and Jane.

[Corey Adams]

Darling.

[Drew Adkins]

I'm going to go with Darlene, Darlene and Jane.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, I can see that. I can see that.

[Drew Adkins]

All right, so skip ahead on. So the tops and the bottoms are. They're going in. And. And our queen Jane dawn wins the challenge, honey. Getting her second win and being in the top for eight weeks in a row.

[Corey Adams]

Okay, now at this point, I was a little confused, though, because they call. They say that Nene and Darlene are safe. And Ru says this week was a great Runway and a great rusical.

[Drew Adkins]

We're splitting hairs here, girls.

[Corey Adams]

We're splitting hairs. We're splitting hairs. Oh, my God.

[Drew Adkins]

God.

[Corey Adams]

Which we. We heard a lot on our season after Megami left. No, I'm kidding. What's it called? Yeah, so I. Yeah, I agree. I agree. This was a successful challenge and a successful Runway somehow. Still don't care.

[Drew Adkins]

Do you think Jane deserved to win?

[Corey Adams]

I think. I think it was between Jane and Mikey. Jane and Mikey were the strongest this week.

[Drew Adkins]

And I agree.

[Corey Adams]

I think because it was like kind of a toss up, you know, I would have maybe personally given it to Mikey, but I could definitely see how Jane won. Like, her win is totally justifiable, and I think she also deserved it. So congrats to Jane, and I'm happy for her second win. Cause I know that they were edging her for weeks and weeks now. No, literally, girl, finally, you know, they took that chastity cage off and they let her bust. So, you know, I'm happy.

[Drew Adkins]

However, now your family, Juicy and Athena are in the bottom too. And they're Lip syncing to a Selena Gomez.

[Corey Adams]

I kind of thought it was a little. I thought it was a little fucked up that they had four tops and two Benny. Hold on, hold on. Before we get that. Before we get that. I thought it was a little fucked up that they had, like, four tops, including Discord, for some reason, who was like, safe.

[Drew Adkins]

No, Discord was in the bottom. Discord was low.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, Discord was low.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, from, like, you can get. Like, you can kind of like. They didn't say it, but, like, yeah,

[Corey Adams]

don't say the name of the song, but what's your favorite song? Wait, why didn't. I'm confused. What? I thought Discord was pretty sure based on the critiques that they gave her. I thought Discord was in the top.

[Drew Adkins]

I don't see that.

[Corey Adams]

Anyways.

[Drew Adkins]

Okay, Kenya was in the top.

[Corey Adams]

Kenya was definitely in the top. For sure. Kenya was definitely.

[Drew Adkins]

I think Discord was, like, safe, low.

[Corey Adams]

Kenya did.

[Drew Adkins]

And they were kind of just.

[Corey Adams]

Can you take care of her?

[Drew Adkins]

I put her there just to scare.

[Corey Adams]

Anyways, whatever. The.

[Drew Adkins]

The. Also, RuPaul wasted no time. He said, anyway, so, Juicy Athena, you're on the bottom. I was like, oh, well, gag it.

[Corey Adams]

All right, well, so do you. Do you agree?

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too.

[Corey Adams]

I would have to say me too, unfortunately, which pains me to say, because they're my family. They're my blood, you know, as a Dion, you know, it was really, really heart wrenching to see my gorgeous, beautiful, talented niece and my untalented, hideous mother. No, I'm kidding. My. My equally. My equally gorgeous mother in the bottom.

[Drew Adkins]

How'd you feel about the lip sync?

[Corey Adams]

The song was who picked it? And now, see, I would say something to you that me and Lynn like. Cause me and you, we. We know a little bit of more behind the scenes, like, what goes on behind song selection. But I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna go there. All I'll say is that this song was boring. It was a boring lip sync song.

[Drew Adkins]

I was like, what? I was like, I mean, I don't know.

[Corey Adams]

I don't really. I don't really get why the. Maybe they had to, like, clear a song with, like, Benny Blanco or something, and he maybe gave that one.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah. A heap.

[Corey Adams]

Granted. Granted, I was. Throughout the lip sync. I was like, goddamn, this is boring. So. But on the other hand, I was like, maybe they needed a slower song to have their, like, Raven. To have their, like, rujubee moment. Raven and juju moment.

[Drew Adkins]

Because at that point, then pick a song. We all know that's sadder because can

[Corey Adams]

you imagine if, like, you know, they're having this, like, emotional mother daughter moment on stage and the song is like, you and me run the same chord. Juicy's like, doing flips.

[Drew Adkins]

Like, dial with a smile.

[Corey Adams]

No, but it had to be a Selena song. It had to be a Selena song.

[Drew Adkins]

She got again without B. Oh, yeah.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, yeah, that's cute. But that's also.

[Drew Adkins]

That would have.

[Corey Adams]

I would. Oh, oh, it's magic.

[Drew Adkins]

Now we're going.

[Corey Adams]

Too bad. Everybody. Everybody get down on the floor Shake it up.

[Drew Adkins]

No, if they did a year without rain, bitch, that would have gagged it.

[Corey Adams]

What if they did, like, Selena's like, Indian bop?

[Drew Adkins]

Which one?

[Corey Adams]

Where ain't. Come and get it.

[Drew Adkins]

Na na na na na na na. Okay, so we have to move on. So, Athena, you know what song?

[Corey Adams]

You know what song? You know what Selena song I really want to hear on Drag Race, like, as a lip sync. I would love. I would love Naturally.

[Drew Adkins]

Naturally.

[Corey Adams]

Naturally. Girl, I was feeling my puss to that song when I was, like, nine years old, girl. Yes.

[Drew Adkins]

I can't wait to. I'm about to listen to. Yeah, without Rain. I need to listen to it after this. I'm telling you, that would have been the perfect replacement for this song. And it's still Selena, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Anyway, so Juicy stays. Athena goes home.

[Corey Adams]

Do you agree?

[Drew Adkins]

I feel like Athena phoned it in. She was like, girl.

[Corey Adams]

I mean, to be honest. To be honest, again, with this lip sync, I feel like it was like an arbitrary toss up because they both just kind of of stood there, which they both just kind of vibed in like this.

[Drew Adkins]

But Juicy, like, gave it, though. Like, she clocked in. I was kind of surprised that she, like, emotion wise.

[Corey Adams]

Yeah, okay. But, yeah, it was really.

[Drew Adkins]

Anyway, I actually.

[Corey Adams]

I was really. That last little finishing pose where the lyric was like, don't be a stranger or something of that nature. Something about being a stranger. And then Juicy sat on Athena's lab and hell, very. Oh, my God, that was so sad. That was so sad.

[Drew Adkins]

The moment the mics turned back on, I was like, okay. And you know, in the head, they're over here. Like, I think we might get a double save. Ru was like, nah, girl, I think get the fuck out of here. Ru was like, girl, we already got enough episodes, girl. Get the fuck out of here, girl.

[Corey Adams]

Stop wasting my time, Cory, you're just so heartless. And they say I'm the villain. And they say I'm the villain. And you're just over here cackling at these girls, misfortunes, families being torn apart, and you're fucking cackling.

[Drew Adkins]

Because sometimes we have to remember we are on a clown show, girl. Drew, was it the confessional? Talking about some. Only one of us is gonna make it out alive. I'm like, what are we playing, the Hunger Games? Like, girl, oh, no, you flying.

[Corey Adams]

Oh, I feel like. Yeah. I mean, you clogged something very real. Because I feel like that's the issue. That's why the entertainment value and quality is sort of degrading. Because these girls are taking this competition way too seriously, far too seriously to have any fun. But, like, I feel like this was. This was definitely.

[Drew Adkins]

But they pick and choose, though. They pick and choose. Because now you think you ain't making that live. Oh. But then when you wanna be nice, you think about the afterlife and the afterworld and what happens after this. So what? What? Yeah, what's happening?

[Corey Adams]

But regardless, I do. I. The moment did pull on my heart. You know, I'm not as heartless as Corey King. The moment did pull on my heartstrings a little bit. And as a Dion myself, you know, it was very, very devastating, you know, very devastating that my family had to be torn asunder. So nasty on national television. You know what I mean?

[Drew Adkins]

And, yeah, this was a hard week for Juicy. I feel as though, like, next week, like, what can you do?

[Corey Adams]

Juicy needs to pick herself back. Juicy needs to pick herself off that, you know, straddle split on the floor that she's doing, you know, and pick herself up by the bootstraps and get another fucking, like, get. Get your head in the game, Juicy. Okay, if I was Juicy at this

[Drew Adkins]

point, bitch, I'm just vibing like, y'.

[Corey Adams]

All. It's so funny that, like, these girls go through these, like, emotional, traumatic moments. Like, you just sent home your best friend, your drag mother, your family. And then RuPaul's like, Let the music play. And everyone's like, ah. Everyone's expected to, like, shake their titties at Juicy's.

[Drew Adkins]

You're in the bad wig off.

[Corey Adams]

Just like, Juicy's over there crying. But, like, she's still expected to, like, twerk a little bit to that last beat, girl.

[Drew Adkins]

If I was her, I don't know, I would just. I mean, she has two wins, but I'm like, after, like, three lip syncs, like, you run out of moves, girl, like I said, what else can I do, girl? I already did everything, girl.

[Corey Adams]

I honestly.

[Drew Adkins]

Next lip sync I'm like, God damn, I'd be tired.

[Corey Adams]

I just. I will say yeah, T. And sometimes I. I'm critical of that, too. Like, drag queen's always doing the same thing over and over again.

[Drew Adkins]

But, like, it's like, that's all we got, bitch.

[Corey Adams]

That's all we got. We've been. Drag queens have been doing this shit since the beginning of time, girl. Like, that's what I'm like, you've seen one. That's the thing. You've seen one Plane Jane show, you've seen them all. And. And I'm sure you've seen one Corey show, you've seen them all, honey. Raise your glass by ping. She does, like, a split that she can't fully get into. She. She's doing a 45 angle. She's 45 degrees off the ground.

[Drew Adkins]

It's literally maybe an obtuse maybe. You know what I mean? Right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Exactly.

[Drew Adkins]

Exactly. Okay, Calling it now. Who is your winner of the season?

[Corey Adams]

Ooh, it's hard to.

[Drew Adkins]

To say.

[Corey Adams]

I feel like they're trying to make Nini Coco out to be a front runner. Personally, for me, I mean, she is.

[Monet X Change]

She.

[Corey Adams]

She is for sure. She's just. It's not my. My preference. I think she's incredibly talented, but I'm not. It's not. I'm not like, wow, I'm so inspired by the vibe.

[Drew Adkins]

Yeah, I'm. I'm. Yeah, I'm. Are you inspired by.

[Corey Adams]

Are you inspired by Nidi K. Coco?

[Drew Adkins]

No, I'm. I would have to pick. Keep that in Jane.

[Corey Adams]

Keep that in Jane.

[Drew Adkins]

I'm not.

[Corey Adams]

I would say. Do you know what? I'm going to go ahead and say. I'm going to go ahead and say Jane as well. Jane is my. Is my pick for the winner as well.

[Drew Adkins]

Although, like, my three faves right now is Kenya, Jane, and honestly, Darlene.

[Corey Adams]

I. Darlene's still hanging in there, and she may have no challenge wins, but she.

[Drew Adkins]

But she's vibing and positive.

[Corey Adams]

She's vibing and positive.

[Drew Adkins]

She's doing great.

[Corey Adams]

She's doing great. So I am honestly curious to, like, see how Darlene's journey ends on the show, but I think that the three, like, front runners are Nene, Mikey, and Jane. And out of those three frontrunners, I would say that Jane, Mikey. I don't think that Mikey is, like, polished enough, in my opinion. I think that she's very funny. I just. I think that she could, you know, we could lacquer her.

[Drew Adkins]

We've had a polish winners before. Um, I guess you think this year's not the year.

[Corey Adams]

I guess I just. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not sure. I'm not sure it's Mikey's year, but who knows? Maybe Mikey's gonna surprise me and gag me at the end.

[Drew Adkins]

I think, basically, I just let Jane keep going.

[Corey Adams]

I think. I think Jane, for me also, I would say I see Jane as. Right now, my prediction for winner is Jane. That being said, social media numbers also come into. Into play, and Nini Coco is leading the pack. So who's to say? Who's to say?

[Drew Adkins]

Lisa Pamphev?

[Monet X Change]

That's what.

[Corey Adams]

That's what happened our season, you know, like, you know, Sapphira was slated to be the winner, but then Nymphia was. Nymphia was leading with the numbers.

[Drew Adkins]

Nymphia was leading, didn't have the most followers. She wanted Jane as possible. Jane is possible. Well, that's f. Anyways, fuck the followers. I don't know. I just feel as though Jane, she, like, exemplifies, like, where I would want to see drag go. And she has the look of, like, I would want queens to be inspired and take things from her. You know what I mean? Like, that's why I would want her to win, because I would want her to be the inspiration that trickles down.

[Corey Adams]

I mean, James, for me, Jane's just Jane of all trades. You know what I mean? She just. She's good at everything. She does it all, and she's just. It seems like she's also old, so she has those. She has those references that are paying off. You know, clearly, her and RuPaul are both sort of live in the same era.

[Drew Adkins]

Contemporaries.

[Corey Adams]

Exactly. They were. They were coming up at the same time, clearly, so.

[Drew Adkins]

And who do you think is gonna

[Corey Adams]

go home next after Athena? I mean, unless Kenya works some magic? I feel like Kenya's time might be coming soon. Or. Honestly, I feel like even though Juicy has two wins under her belt, I think it's really.

[Drew Adkins]

They could play her face.

[Corey Adams]

I think it's really time for her to show that she. It's time for her to secure her spot in the game, because I feel like she's been in the bottom, you know, a few too many times. And with her grandmother now gone, I feel like she needs to show that she could stand on her own, stand alone, and she needs to. She needs to. Yeah, step it up. But I. I'm rooting for her. I'm rooting for Juicy, maybe. You know, who knows? I feel like this season is like a little bit more of, like an even game than we've seen in primary in past seasons. Especially your season, bitch. Everyone was fucking horrible on your season except for like a select few. Yeah, yeah, I said it. I said it, bitch. We were all thinking it. I just said it.

[Drew Adkins]

Did good. Anyway, thank you all so much for tuning in the sibling love.
